Consumer Description

WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR SPEEDING UP BETWEEN ABOUT 30-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS OF WORK COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR IS FAULTY CAUSING CROSS-CONTAMINATION BETWEEN ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. I AM AWARE THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT PENDING. I HAVE SPENT SIGNIFICANT MONEY TO TROUBLESHOOT AND REPLACE WHAT WAS NEEDED (RADIATOR AND MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION FLUSHES) AND FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED AS WELL AS HAVE A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION AND ADDITIONAL REPAIR/REPLACEMENT IF NEEDED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE IS NOW DAMAGED DUE TO TRANSMISSION FLUID BEING IN THERE AND POSSIBLY THE TRANSMISSION. BOTH OF WHICH MAY BE FUTURE PROBLEMS THAT MATERIALIZE DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR THE MANY NISSAN CUSTOMERS. *TR
